    Will it really benefit me to overclock my graphics card? Is it really a big deal or should it be just fine as it is now?

    Sorry kind of nubbish to this :p

    It depends, I usually keep mine at 700/1000. Benchmarks show an increase in frames, but that's totally up to you if it's worth it in terms of performance to heat ratio.

    Do you know what it runs at stock?
    Someone told me they run theirs at 700/1080 and didn't have any problems at all and I'm gonna be getting a cooler soon anyway lol

    According to MSI AFTERBURNER, at stocks it runs at 590 / 1180 ( Core Clock / Shader Clock ) on mine.
